Book of Jarom

The Book of Jarom is the fifth book of the Book of Mormon, written from 399 to 361 BC by Jarom, the son of Enos. The short book tells that the Nephites kept the law of Moses, looked forward to the coming of Jesus, and prospered in the land. Many prophets labored to keep the people in the way of truth. The Nephites multiplied exceedingly and spread upon the face of the land, becoming very rich in gold and silver. They also were also blessed with precious thing, fine workmanship of wood, in buildings, in machinery, in iron and copper, in brass and steel, and in weapons of war (arrows, quivers, darts, and javelins). At the end of the short book, Jarom announced that he would deliver the plates to his son Omni.
